+1

I also encourage the person I'm meeting with to add items to the agenda running up to the 1:1. Sometimes I'll respond async before we meet and just check that I answered their question/resolved the issue so we can spend time in the 1:1 on things that don't just need a quick answer.

That's a great idea and makes a lot of sense. I'm curious, what do you actually want to spend the majority of your time on in 1:1s?

Same guy from other thread. Spend 5 to 15 min socializing, the rest talking about deliverables, updates I have to give to them, any concerns they might have. Depending on the „season“ there are topics like performance reviews, etc.
